20 Installation
3. Connect the patient valve to the other ends of
the ventilation tube and the pressure gauge
hose.
4. If the patient is intubated, insert the patient
valve into the tube,
or
if a mask is being used for ventilation, insert the
patient valve into the connector on the mask.
(This is identical with the connector on the tube.)
HME-Filter
If a heat and moisture exchanger (HME) filter is
required, this should be installed between the pa-
tient-side connector on the patient valve and the
tube or mask.
Always follow the manufacturer’s directions for use.
